Our main thoughts on the advantages of using these motors is:
1) On very light days we can still fly and well out perform the local para-glider pilots, which is a lot of fun :) We can also fly sites when the wind is light and too far "off" for sustained lift.
2) For jumping from one lift source to the next o...

A very simple and clean solution with only two valves. This is a Diablo 80l tank which saves a lot of mucking about making your own sealed fittings on a home made tank. For this suck out to deck addition one more "tee" was required and joined into the hose between the tank outlet and the pump. After the tee is a new ball valve to isolate the system when not pumping out.

    Love what you’re doing. I’ve seen the early gas king post mounted versions in action in the middle 70’s. Two of my HG friends where experimenting in New Hampshire- USA and two separate occasions managed to forward tumble during a full power stall. Both survived luckily by large bushes below. Granted today’s wings are far more stable then those early wings Still we have not heard what your units are putting out for thrust. Can you maintain or climb in still air conditions??? My old Mosquito was putt out just over 100 lbs thrust and I tried a friend’s direct drive electric motor installed on a harness and putting out about 60 lbs for a slow climb.

      Hard to say since it is just a helper motor to increase our flying envelope but when it has been barley flyable (light winds) we have gotten to 100ft instead of just scraping our wings along the ridge.

  • @simonhughes-king
    @simonhughes-king Месяц назад

    There is a very good reason that the successful motor modifications for HG are attached to the pilot. It's to do with pitch stability in turbulence. When under power, you get big pitch down moments when the pilot goes light on the hang strap. There have been a few attempts at airframe attached motors. Most have either killed or nearly killed their inventors.

    • @cwallen32
      @cwallen32 Месяц назад

      Completely disagree. You can successfully mount motors to a glider. However, this design will have issues if you try to flat-land launch it with no ridge lift. The thrust line is too high compared to the center of mass, however, with the low power motors and some ridge lift I don't see an issue with the design just limited in application and wouldn't increase motor size much. My preference is an ehelp for low performance gliders and a twin keel mount for high performance (still testing but getting good results and 400fpm up). Also if you're referring to the Soar Master I read one of the best accident reports out of the UK on the unit and have spoken with multiple pilots who actually flew them including Mark Stucky. My takeaway is people didn't understand the operating limitations, didn't have proper training, and were flying them on very dated equipment by today's standards.

I love every minute of airtime I can get! I have Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome... AIDS for short.😂 A suggestion. Mount two ducted fan motors. one on each down tube. This will lower your thrust line. They are pricey. About 300. bucks apiece+ batteries etc, but each fan has an output of 8.6kg that will give you a total of 17.2kg/37.9 lbs. of thrust.
